It’s summer! And if it ever stops raining in New York… we will be wanting to spend as much time outside as possible.

Inevitably that includes summer meals and al fresco dinners with our friends! Unfortunately for city dwellers, finding an outdoor space large enough to host a dinner or BBQ is nearly impossible, but if you have the ability to bring your group outdoors, here are some tips for summer entertaining.

Well it’s Thursday… but who are we kidding, summer Thursdays have turned into pre-Fridays with everyone pretty much checked out in preparation for the weekend!

I’ve learned that New York City and the people that live there are unlike the rest of the country for many reasons. Their unrealistic need to have oysters available at all hours of the night [really? who needs access to a raw bar at 3am?], their inability to do anything slowly at a normal pace, and a severe, city-wide diagnosis of FOMO.

Luckily the city feeds it’s insatiable masses with a wide array of non-stop activities with lists curated and distributed by websites like Urban Daddy and Thrillist on a regular basis. Check out this week’s Thrillist Weekend Playbook for NYC.
